2022 Ford E-350 problems
The Ford E-Series (also known as the Ford Econoline, Ford Econovan or Ford Club Wagon) is a range of full-size vans manufactured and marketed by the Ford Motor Company. Introduced for 1961 as the replacement of the Ford F-Series panel van, four generations of the model line have been produced. Marketed for both cargo and passenger transport configurations, the E-Series has been designed with multiple design variations for both retail and commercial sale, including vans, and commercial-grade cutaway van chassis and stripped chassis (a chassis without bodywork).
With over 8.2 million units sold since 1961, the Ford E-Series is the third-best selling van line in history (outranked only by the Ford Transit and Volkswagen Transporter). Ford retired the E-Series passenger and cargo vans after 2014, replacing them with the Ford Transit. As of current production, the E-Series remains offered exclusively in cutaway and stripped-chassis configurations. In 2021, the model line entered its 60th year of production (becoming the second current Ford line to do so).
The E-Series (cutaway/stripped chassis) is assembled by Ford at its Ohio Assembly facility (Avon Lake, Ohio), which has produced the model line since 1975. Prior to its closure, Lorain Assembly (Lorain, Ohio) assembled the model line from 1961 to 2005.

Common 2022 Ford E-350 problems
The Ford E-350 2022 has been reported to have common problems related to the vehicle's engine and engine cooling.
Another common problem with the 2022 Ford E-350 is related to the transmission. Some owners have reported a small transmission leak, which can lead to more serious issues if not addressed promptly. Additionally, there have been reports of cracked heads, particularly in the 3-valve motors. This can be a serious issue, as it can lead to leaks and engine failure.
The rear heater core has also been identified as a problem area in the 2022 Ford E-350. Leaks in the heater core can cause wet carpet and disconnected or plugged coolant lines. This can lead to a loss of heat in the rear of the vehicle, and can also cause issues with the air conditioning system.
The vacuum reservoir is another common problem area in the 2022 Ford E-350. A leaky vacuum reservoir can cause a loss of air conditioning when accelerating or going uphill. This can be caused by a faulty reservoir, which can be difficult to access and replace. A workaround for this issue is to bypass the original reservoir and install a new one under the dashboard in the passenger footwell.
Steering problems have also been reported in the 2022 Ford E-350. Some owners have experienced loose or sloppy steering at speed, which can be caused by worn or damaged ball joints or other steering components. This can lead to handling issues and can be a safety concern.
The check engine light is another common issue in the 2022 Ford E-350. This can be caused by a variety of issues, including faulty sensors, loose or damaged gas caps, and issues with the ignition system or catalytic converter. It is important to address any issues with the check engine light promptly, as they can lead to more serious problems if not addressed.
In summary, the 2022 Ford E-350 has several common problems, including engine and transmission issues, rear heater core leaks, vacuum reservoir leaks, steering problems, and check engine light issues. It is important for owners to address these issues promptly to prevent more serious problems from developing.

- Components: STEERING
- Summary: 2022 FORD E-350. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO POWER STEERING SAFETY RECALL.
STEERING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-10-09
- VIN: 1ft8w3bt7ne
- Components: STEERING
- Summary: During early morning hours (approx. 2 am) of 10/09/22, while traveling westbound on I-70 through Utah at posted speed (80 mph) I hit a series of road repairs (patches) while in the right-hand lane, with the driver-side (left) front wheel. The front end of the vehicle shook violently, leaving limited control of steering which resulted in the vehicle drifting quickly into the passing (left hand) lane. Fortunately, no one was in the passing lane and control was regained, but only after rapid deceleration through hard braking. The incident was freighting to say the very least, and has resulted in driver distress when traveling over bridges with expansion joints, experiencing changes to road surfaces, and/or anticipating poor road surfaces. Driver anxiety is a direct result of this incident. The vehicle is a new Ford F-350 diesel 4WD with fewer than 2000 total miles at the time the incident took place. An internet search suggests a probable cause associated with a “death wobble”? But on a brand new vehicle? Makes no sense and is very concerning as apparently Ford has been aware of this problem for years? Ford customer service department was contacted (10/10/22) via phone, and a case number [XXX] provided. The Ford dealership through which the vehicle was purchased (Keller Ford in Hanford, CA) was contacted per the recommendation of the Ford customer service representative and the vehicle is scheduled to be left with the Keller Ford service department on 10/12/22. Why isn’t Ford required to notify owners of this phenomenon so that at a minimum operators are aware of the potential problem and are at least prepared for its occurrence? I have owned many Ford vehicles in the 45+ years I have driven, starting with a 1956 Ford F-100 I purchased in 1978. I general, I am happy with Ford products. But in this instance (my first purchase of a new vehicle) I am not. This problem needs to be fixed immediately! INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

After stopping to inspect under the hood, the contact discovered a power steering fluid leak in the engine compartment.
